Our team played very well the past Friday against a McCallie team that also played very well. Our ability to make some big plays on offense and to limit those big plays by McCallie especially in the running game was the key to victory in my opinion. As we said in the game preview McCallie was the top rushing team in our league and we held them to 124 yards for the game which was a huge victory for our defensive team. This was also one of our best nights of the season on offense as we averaged almost 10 yards a play.
The SouthernSun Players of the game as selected by our media group were Toby Baker and Matt Bolton. Toby probably had his best game of the year and it could not have come at a better time. Matt was the key to our defense stopping the run and he finished the game with 18 tackles.
We do not hand out Buzzard Player awards during the play-offs but I would like to give a shout out to Darien Bradburn a 9th grade running back who did a great job all week impersonating #24 from McCallie. In fact all of our guys on the scout teams continue to be integral to our success on Fridays.
So we know move on to the Semi-Finals and face Ensworth. More about that game later.
